Those bits were supposed to be the "net: add support for
per-paged-fragment destructors" patch which I accidentally squashed into
the hv driver.

As I said to Dan they are a reminder referring to the dilemma I
mentioned in the intro mail. Basically that ".p" is ugly because
gl->frags[0].page isn't actually a paged fragment, it's just that this
driver uses skb_frag_t in its internal datastructures.
